This powerpoint presentation is aimed at increasing local communities' knowledge of sea turtles and the importance of communities' collective efforts to conserve these unique marine reptiles
Awareness posters on climate change.Each set 1,2 and 3 contains 4 to 10 different posters
Erosion is the process where soft shorelines (sand, gravel
or cobble) disappear and land is lost. Erosion generally
comes in two forms; 1) A natural part of the coastal environment
where a soft shore moves and changes in response to
cyclic climatic conditions, and 2) Erosion can be induced by
human interference of natural sand movement and budget
patterns. Erosion can be slow and ongoing over many
years or fast and dramatic following large storm events.
Many erosion problems in the Pacific today, occur because
The assessment of available remote sensing data indicates, that there is almost no potential for
activities reducing deforestation within the CCA/REDD site. Reducing forest degradation by
eliminating invasive weeds might show some potential for emission reductions and removals, but
requires further research to assess the management options and their carbon dynamics.
At the first United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change
(UNFCCC) Conference of the Parties (COP) held in Berlin in 1995, Atiq
Rahman of the Bangladesh Centre for Advanced Studies gave an
impassioned speech to the delegates and warned, “If climate change makes
our country uninhabitable . . . we will march with our wet feet into your
living rooms.”1 Climate change related impacts such as floods, tsunamis,
hurricanes, and drought have already caused millions of people around the
The Department of Energy (DoE) is one of the Departments under the Ministry of Climate Change Adaptation, Meteorology, Geo-hazards, Energy, Environment and National Disaster Management Office. Its mandate is vested in Vanuatu’s National Energy Roadmap (NERM) and the activities, policies, programs and projects implemented by the Department all contribute to achieving the policy priorities and targets stipulated in the NERM. DoE’s role is beyond policy and legislative development for an effective energy sector.
Also called a Jet Stove, a Rocket Stove is an efficient and hot burning stove using small diameter wood fuel. Fuel is burned in a simple combustion chamber containing an insulated vertical chimney, which ensures almost complete combustion prior to the flames reaching the cooking surface.
Wood fuel is the oldest form of extracting heat energy and is still the most popular form of energy in the Pacific. However, because it is so readily available, we tend to use wood fuel inefficiently.
The regulated MEPSL products are enforced under the bill for Energy Efficiency of Electrical Appliances, Equipment and Lighting Products Act No 24 of 2016. Most energy effeicient appliances can sometimes cost more in purchasing, but will be more energy efficient and cost effectve over time due to using less electricity in its lifespan.
